A BIT OF HISTORY

Cluj-Napoca was founded more than 2000 years ago and became famous as the "Treasure Town" because of the wealth it enjoyed during medieval times. Today, the town boasts a great number of archaeological sites, churches, cathedrals and monuments and has remained one of the most important towns in Transylvania, in terms of economy, academics and culture. Cluj-Napoca is in constant evolution but is capable of maintaining the balance between old and new, between the modern high-tech buildings and the ancient architectural beauties and the narrow old pavedstreets.
